He knew that He was vs He knew that He

Both phrases are incomplete and do not make sense on their own. The first phrase seems to be missing a verb after 'he was,' while the second phrase is missing any additional information after 'he.' It is not logical to compare these two phrases as they are not complete thoughts.
